COVER STORY
JASON DAY VS. MARC LEISHMAN
Here’s a pairing we wouldn’t like to see – and
for obvious reasons. Day and Leishman are the
strongest of the Aussie hopefuls, and this
match would instantly reduce the odds of an
Australian victory.
Day won the event in 2016 (and 2014) but
withdrew last year due to his mother’s ill health – so,
in a way, the Queenslander will feel as though he is
defending the championship.
Leishman, meanwhile, has a singles match play
record of 6-6-2 and finished 9th here in 2015.
Cameron Smith completes the Australian
contingent and will make his tournament debut, while
Adam Scott will skip the event after finalising his
Masters preperations at Bay Hill last week.
SERGIO GARCIA VS. TOMMY FLEETWOOD
Tommy Fleetwood are Sergio Garcia are two of the PGA
Tour’s purest ball-strikers and would put on a stripe
show together.
England’s Fleetwood is currently second on Tour for
strokes gained tee-to-green, while Garcia has been one of
the world’s best ball-strikers throughout his entire career.
The reigning Race to Dubai champion versus the 2017
Masters champion is a mouth-watering prospect.
